Revenue Growth

A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years.

With $7.48 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Broadridge is one of the larger companies in the business services industry and benefits from a well-known brand that influences purchasing decisions.

As you can see below, Broadridge’s sales grew at a solid 8.4% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This is an encouraging starting point for our analysis because it shows Broadridge’s demand was higher than many business services companies.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within business services, a half-decade historical view may miss recent innovations or disruptive industry trends. Broadridge’s annualized revenue growth of 7.2% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results suggest healthy demand.

We can better understand the company’s revenue dynamics by analyzing its most important segment, Investor Communication Solutions. Over the last two years, Broadridge’s Investor Communication Solutions revenue (shareholder materials) averaged 7.3% year-on-year growth.

This quarter, Broadridge reported year-on-year revenue growth of 7.5%, and its $2.22 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 2.6%.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 3.7% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last two years. This projection doesn’t excite us and implies its products and services will see some demand headwinds. At least the company is tracking well in other measures of financial health.

Adjusted Operating Margin

Adjusted operating margin is a key measure of profitability. Think of it as net income (the bottom line) excluding the impact of non-recurring expenses, taxes, and interest on debt - metrics less connected to business fundamentals.

Broadridge has been a well-oiled machine over the last five years. It demonstrated elite profitability for a business services business, boasting an average adjusted operating margin of 19.8%.

Analyzing the trend in its profitability, Broadridge’s adjusted operating margin rose by 1.2 percentage points over the last five years, as its sales growth gave it operating leverage.

This quarter, Broadridge generated an adjusted operating margin profit margin of 24.6%, down 2.4 percentage points year on year. This contraction shows it was less efficient because its expenses grew faster than its revenue.

Earnings Per Share

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

Broadridge’s EPS grew at 11.2% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 8.4% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

We can take a deeper look into Broadridge’s earnings to better understand the drivers of its performance. As we mentioned earlier, Broadridge’s adjusted operating margin declined this quarter but expanded by 1.2 percentage points over the last five years. Its share count also shrank by 2.1%, and these factors together are positive signs for shareholders because improving profitability and share buybacks turbocharge EPS growth relative to revenue growth.

Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a more recent period because it can provide insight into an emerging theme or development for the business.

For Broadridge, its two-year annual EPS growth of 11.6% is similar to its five-year trend, implying stable earnings power.

In Q2, Broadridge reported adjusted EPS of $3.82, up from $3.55 in the same quarter last year. This print beat analysts’ estimates by 1.7%. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Broadridge’s full-year EPS to grow 7.6% from $9.64 to $10.38.
